My first time trying out a haiku... describing a thunderstorm that cloaked all of Singapore last night.

Sudden daylight. Flash.

Thunder rumbling, rain torrent.

Even frogs stay low.


Rain drops fall pit-pat

Flash grumbling flash rumbling flash

Shudd'ring snug inside


Crack. Flicker. Flash.

Deep muted roar

Winds subdue mighty trees


Overflowing drains

Em'rald losses scatter, drift

Crystal droplets drip.


A/N: Yes, yes, I know the second last stanza isn't exactly according to the 5-7-5 format, but I just wanted to get it out and couldn't find a suitable way to fit it in the format. And I know some repeat themselves, but these are just different ways of describing the scene.
